Eldest daughter

Chapter 377
It was rare to come to my grandparents' house, and her grandpa was in such a body, so Wang Yuan'er thought about staying one more night, so that she could spend more time with them. Granny Liang wished they would stay longer, so she was naturally happy, and hurriedly told her aunt Go clean up the house so that a few grandchildren can live there.

Seeing her aunt busy with the work alone, Wang Yuaner also felt good, and called Qiutang and Qiuyun's two maidservants to help clean up the back and forth.

When his uncle Liang Zhenling came back, Wang Yuaner asked him about his future plans.

My uncle also ran errands with Liang Xiucai at first, and then he and others started a business of reselling medicinal materials, but they also fell out later, and now he doesn't do it, just taking care of the family's property.

"I rent out some fields at home, and the rations are enough for the whole family to eat. I don't have to worry about that. I also have some connections in the reselling of medicinal materials before. I plan to continue this business. What do you think?" asked the uncle. Looking at Wang Yuaner.

He didn't just mean to ask the question, but he sincerely regarded Wang Yuaner as a person who made up his mind. It was also because Wang Yuaner's ability was on display in the past few years, and he could see that this niece was a capable and powerful woman. Good luck, ask her for an idea and refer to it, it's right.

Wang Yuan'er pondered for a moment, then asked, "Uncle, what is the rule for reselling medicinal materials?"

"That's what I thought, go to the mountains to collect medicines from the herb collectors, and then sell them to various medical halls, and make a difference in the middle." Uncle smiled naively.

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips, and said, "If that's the case, I think Uncle might as well open a medicinal material shop? He sells medicinal materials while collecting medicinal materials from outside. If there is a shop, the integrity will be higher, and the profit will probably be higher."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but you also know that your grandpa was born as a scholar, and he really doesn't like us to touch business. He won't be happy." Uncle smiled wryly.

Wang Yuan'er smiled: "Uncle, scholars also eat, drink, and sleep. They can't be full by holding books. Many rich families have scholars, but they also have various businesses. Does this mean they are businessmen?"

Uncle frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Uncle, it's impossible for you to continue studying and take the imperial examination, right? Then you can't just do nothing." Wang Yuan'er said: "Since my grandfather is a scholar, the Liang family can't be regarded as a businessman. He came from a farming family, anyway. You don’t need to be registered as a merchant to start a medicine business, and in the future, Ting brothers will be able to take the imperial examination, there is no conflict between the two.”

Uncle frowned when he heard this, "It seems quite reasonable to hear what you said."

"Students also need to make a living. These old families are also engaged in business and general affairs. Otherwise, how can they raise a large family? Let's not talk about it, let's take my godmother and her family as an example. The Song family is also known as a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River." , this generation of the family has a family of three Jinshi, but there is also a lot of business, my brother-in-law is called a business tycoon, who would say that he is an inconspicuous businessman?"

"Uncle, there is an old saying that laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitutes, it doesn't matter if you are a medicinal material business. It's great that you have made money, so you can buy more farmland and Zhuangzi, and wait for Brother Ting and the others to grow up. Slowly, generation after generation If it settles down, maybe it will be a scholarly family in the future." Wang Yuan'er continued: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. This is probably the reason."

"You're right." Uncle nodded.

"Uncle, if you have made up your mind, you can go to Ji County to have a look."

"Ji County? I know, didn't your second uncle go over there to be the county magistrate? I heard that it is a big county of medicinal materials." Uncle rubbed his hands and said.

Wang Yuan'er nodded; "I heard from Cui Yuan that the medicinal materials business over there is doing very well. Now my second uncle is going to be the county magistrate over there. If uncle, if you want to make this medicinal material, go over there and say hello to my second uncle. , It’s better than blindly groping.”

Another thing she thought of was that her uncle used to buy this first-hand medicinal material, and it is estimated that he and his second uncle can help each other and benefit from each other, and get the best of both worlds. As for how to do it, I think Master Lin will have a good idea.

The more my uncle listened, the more he felt that it was feasible. He nodded, then shook his head: "Your grandpa..."

"Grandpa, it's hard to say now. When he gets better, talk to him slowly, and you won't be annoyed if you think about it. It's just that you have to cultivate Tinggeer and Jinger well, and study when you need to, otherwise grandma You are really going to be annoyed!"

"Naturally, I also want them to stand out and shine in the family." Uncle said solemnly.

Wang Yuan'er took advantage of the situation and talked about Ting Ge'er, how is his study, and is he qualified?

Speaking of the eldest son, the uncle was very relieved and said: "He is the eldest son's direct grandson. Your grandpa devoted a lot of energy and care to him. Fortunately, this child is also smart and knowledgeable. He is thirteen years old. Well, what your grandpa means is to let him try this year, and first take the qualification for being a child."

Wang Yuaner was overjoyed and asked, "Then he has confidence?"

Uncle nodded and said with a smile: "I asked him, and he said that there should be no major problem."

Wang Yuaner was even more joyful, clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't put too much pressure on him, Brother Ting is still young, and the days will be long."

"I know." Uncle nodded, thought for a while but hesitated to speak.

"Why, uncle thinks there's something wrong?" Wang Yuan'er asked upon seeing this.

Uncle touched his head in embarrassment: "No, it's just, uh..." He paused, and said: "You know, our Liang family only has such a small network of connections, and Brother Ting's knowledge has always been taught by his grandfather. , now that his grandpa has such a body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to teach him in the future. I was thinking, if Brother Ting passed the qualification as a child student, Yuaner, you have more connections on your side, and see if you can find him a good school , ask for a better sir?"

Carefully, he added: "Of course, if it's too troublesome, then don't use it."

Wang Yuan'er chuckled: "I still think it's something great, so it's this. Don't worry, Brother Ting is just like my own brother. I wish him well. Even if you don't mention it, I will pay attention to it." Yes, I'll ask someone to inquire later. But, if the journey is long, are you willing to send him there?"

When my uncle heard the words, he was sullen again: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. As long as you can learn some knowledge, you will be willing to go far."

"If you have uncle's words, that's it. In the future, don't tell me you miss your son." Wang Yuan'er laughed teasingly.

"You girl, you dare to tease your uncle?" Uncle smiled dotingly.

Wang Yuan'er stuck out his tongue mischievously on a rare occasion, and his uncle couldn't help feeling a little dazed when he saw it.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Seeing that he had calmed down, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help shaking his hand.

"No, when I look at you, I see your mother, but you are stronger than your mother." The uncle sighed.

Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly, touched her cheek, and said, "Mother is much more delicate than me."

"It's good that you are like this. Your mother's life is not good, so I went early. You guys are more lucky, and you will live your parents' share in the future."

Wang Yuan'er felt a little sour in her heart, and responded with a smile.

The uncle and nephew talked for a while about business matters, and it was not until Qing'er came to tell that grandpa had woken up that Wang Yuan'er said goodbye and went to accompany the old man.

When she went out, her aunt came in and asked Liang Zhenling, "How is it going? How is your talk going?"

Liang Zhenling took the important point of the two people's words and said it briefly. Hearing that Wang Yuan'er would help in the medicinal material business, and promised to find a good husband for the eldest son's trustee, Fang burst into a smile.

"Yuan'er has this kind of heart. My eldest sister is gone. They are orphans. We, uncles and aunts, will help in the future if we can. In the future, when their sisters and children get married, you can add make-up and give them more money." Liang Zhenling commanded.

"Don't worry, they are well-behaved and sensible. I also like them in my heart, and naturally they love them as much as my own children." Fang is a person who reciprocates, and Wang Yuaner and the others are all good-natured children. like.

"Father is like this now, and mother is also getting old. When I go to mess with the medicinal material business, the family can only rely on you. Ting'er, mother, you have worked hard these years. When life gets better, I will also rely on you." Just like Yuan'er and the others, buy a few people to serve you, so that you can enjoy yourself!" Liang Zhenling hugged her and said.

Fang's face blushed, she fell into his arms, and said: "I should go if I have worked hard or not. Besides, I am well married and have never been angry with my mother-in-law. You are also good to me. I don’t have to worry about chewing at home, and now the children are well-behaved, so I’m satisfied.”

"Brother Ting will grow up to be successful in the future, and we will be even more blessed." Liang Zhenling patted her on the shoulder.

Fang nodded, thinking of the eldest son who had grown into a handsome young man, she also looked forward to it.

For a woman's life, her husband understands and loves her, and her son has a promising future. That's when life is full of hope.

Wang Yuaner and the others stayed for a day and then went back.

When she got home, she went to the old house and told grandpa and grandma about grandpa's current situation and reassured them.

"I didn't expect that my in-laws would have such a catastrophe." Old man Wang had suffered a stroke himself, so the feeling was uncomfortable, and he didn't expect his in-laws to be like this.

"As people get older, it is inevitable that they will suffer from various ailments. Grandpa and Grandma, you should also relax at ordinary times, and don't get angry when encountering troubles. You usually take a walk outside more slowly, which is also called keeping fit." Wang Yuan'er said.

Old man Wang nodded naturally.

Wang Yuan'er picked up his uncle's family and talked about it as a happy event. Hearing that Liang's parents and sons are going to take the qualification test for children this year, and it is very likely that they will pass the test, the old man was in a daze again.

"It's a good thing to pass the exam, it's a good thing!" He took out the cigarette bag, unable to tell whether it was a forced laugh or something.

The Liang family's children are so promising, what about their own family?Don't count on the eldest grandson. Looking at Fuduo now, his aptitude is not good enough. Could it be that the Wang family really can't produce officials who have passed the real imperial examinations?
Wang Yuan'er glanced at him, saw that he was not very happy, and changed the subject.
